Age range: 13 and up
Things you’ll need:
M and O paper mache letters
Artificial flowers
Hot glue gun

Paint
Paintbrush
Knife
Things to do:
1. First, you need to hollow out your letters. Use a knife to cut along the edge of the letter and peel it back. Remove the extra cardboard inside.
2. Paint the edges of your letter with acrylic paint. If your letters will be displayed on a table where you’ll be able to see the back, be sure to paint it as well.
3. When the paint is dry, it’s time to start adding the flowers! Pull the blooms off of the stem and use hot glue to attach them to the inside of your letter. As you fill up the letter, be sure to vary the colors you use to create a more natural look.
